The Land Manatee’s Hiking Nightmare

On February 10, 2019February 11, 2019 By Sean D. LaytonIn Humor12 Comments

People love hiking, but to me it means someone is being lazy and needs to get off their ass and build a road so I can drive there.

The shocking murder of a local Lyft driver has me rethinking doing rideshare again.

I’m Tired of Being Abused by Cox

On November 14, 2018November 17, 2018 By Sean D. LaytonIn Houseguest, Humor12 Comments

Despite the innuendo, click-bait title, and juvenile humor, there is a decided lack of porn in this post. Just me being abused by my crappy ISP. Again.

Want to watch mass chaos? Make Arizonans drive in anything other than sunshine. And when the monsoon thunderstorms hit? Yeah, it's not pretty as I've found out.

Burn, Baby! Burn!

It was oh-dark-30, and I was on an unlit road to nowhere, heading to a town I hadn't even known existed. How the hell did this happen?

Who’s this Sean Layton guy?

Pretty much a walking cautionary tale. 

Born in the UK, I’ve lived most of my life under the blazing Arizona sun (i.e. sheltering in air-conditioned buildings). I’ve got an MFA in creative writing from ASU and work as a copywriter.

After years of posting on Facebook, I’m making my tales of woe and my musings available for an even larger audience to ignore (at their own peril). Typically humorous, things occasionally get serious.

Scroll down and Follow so you never miss a post. If you enjoy what you read, don’t be selfish – share!

Need something to do at work? Check out a gripping chapter from my book Not Helping.

Look into my eyes. Follow my Blog.

Want to instantly up your sex appeal? Me too. But following my blog won't help. You might find it amusing though.

As a bonus, you'll be notified of new posts by email. (Don't worry, I'm a slow writer, so you won't get spammed.)

Come on. Don't make me grovel.
